BEFORE YOU START...

1, Have you checked to see if ail the needed parts have been included? (See "GAME
PACKAGE CONTENTS" on page 3.)

2. Is the cabinet you have chosen to build up able to supply all the required voltages for tiiis
game (+5, & +12 vdc)? Some games (i.e. Ms, Pac Man. Galaxian, etc.) regulate their
voltages on the main PC board. This makes the existing power supply inappropriate and
hazardous to your new game. These cabinets will require a power supply change. Many
game supply houses can offer you a switching regulated power supply for a relatively low
cost. Ask your distributor.

3. Is the monitor configuration compatible? It can be difficult to change the monitor from a
vertical to a horizontal mount. Installation will be easier if you choose a horizontal mount
cabinet.

4. Do you have the necessary tools? (See "RECOMMENDED TOOLS & SUPPLIES".)

I IMPORTANT NOTE

I

Through the use of the very latest technology this game requires far less power to operate
than most games currently on the market. The outputs of many “regulated” switching pow<
supplies actually vary with load. For this reason the power supply from an old cabinet may
| not be correctly adjusted for RIM ROCKIN' B ASKKTBAI L. Therefore, it is very

important to adjust the +5 vdc supply WITHOUT connecting the PC Board, then read just in
later, after the PC Board has been installed. Damage will occur if the power supply is
outside the acceptable limits (between 4.8 and 5.5 vdc).

CABINET SELECTION

You may use a new or used cabinet for your RIM ROCKIN’ BASKETBALL game. In either
case, all you provide is the cabinet with a power supply and monitor. We provide the rest. The
end result is a new game at a very low cost.

Spend time on the cabinet’s appearance (i.e. marquee, control panel, and cabinet graphics).

You will raise your profits with the introduction of a new game package, especially if the
cabinet looks clean and new.

The “new game look” should always apply to the inside of your game as well. A few wire ties
and shrink tubing on your harness, some fastening hardware on your subassemblies, and a
sweep with the vacuum cleaner will ensure that unnecessary glitches do not occur.

Whether you choose to refurbish a used cabinet or supply a new cabinet, RIM ROCKIN’
BASKETBALL supports several possible configurations. Select a cabinet configuration that
best suits your needs. (Also, see "Setting the Dip Switch" on page 15.)

1 . Four-player cabinet

2. Three-player cabinet

3. Two-player cabinet

4. Four- player linked (Use two 2-pla\ er cabinets linked together
to form a four-player game.)

5. One-player cabinet

SELECTING \COIN DOOR

VERY IMPORTANT!!

RIM ROCKIN’ BASKETBALL supports two coin modes.

-COIN MODE 1 requires that you provide one coin slot per player. For example, a four-player
cabinet requires a four-coin-slot coin door.

-COIN MODE 2 treats all coin slots as common to each player. This allows a four-player
cabinet to use a standard two-slot door. In COIN MODE 2, players can insert coins in any slot
and use their individual start button to credit themselves the value of the coin. However, if all
players use common corn slots, it would be possible for one player to acquire another player's
credits. We STRONGLY RECOMMEND using COIN MODE 1 . Since COIN MODE i'
provides one coin slot per player, each player has total control of his/her coin account.

PREPARING A USED CABINET FOR THE NEW GAME

Remove the following:

1 . Main Logic Board(s)

2. Control Panel

3. Monitor Plexiglass

4. Monitor Bezel

5. Marquee

6. Cabinet Graphics

Thoroughly clean out your cabinet.

Remove all the old buttons, joysticks and wires from the control panel and set aside. Remove
all of the original overlay. DO NOT remove monitor and speaker wires.

Remove the old graphics and adhesive. If your cabinet has wood grain sides, adhesive may be
removed with lacquer thinner.

For a fresh look, painting is highly recommended. Spray painting gives a better finish, but if an
air brush or paint sprayer is unavailable, a roller is second best. Be sure to cover all exposed
surfaces not to be painted, such as the coin door and monitor. Use a small brush to finish up the
details. If you do not have the facilities for painting, try an auto body shop.

CONTROL PANEL

1. Mark positions on the panel for new holes. (Refer to Illustration 1 on page 7.) If you are
using a universal cabinet, holes may already exist that match the recommended control
configuration.

2. Drill (or punch) the holes marked for buttons and bolts. Use a chassis or sheet metal
punch for best results on button holes. Cut holes for the joystick mounts.

3. Use a file to smooth out the edges of all the new holes.

4. Cover any unused holes with a wood or metal plate.

SIDE <;u \i»I IK' INSTALLATION

1 . The sides of the cabinet should be very clean, smooth, and free of any old
adhesive, dust, etc.

2 . Mark position of decal lightly with pencil (centered on upper half of cabinet).

3. Spray the side of the cabinet with soap and water solution and leave wet.

4. Peel off the tup 1/4 of the decal backing and apply to the cabinet starting at the top will) a
smoothing motion. Smooth down until decal is in place.

5. Squeegee all bubbles and ripples out of the decal. Use a piece of cardboard if you do not
have a squeegee.

6. Position the decal exactly. The soapy solution will allow some movement. Allow
several hours to dry completely.

WIRING & HARDWARE INSTALLATION

REMEMBER!

Do not work with any part of the system plugged in (lights, monitor, or power supply).

CONTROL, PANEL ASSEMBLY

Install all buttons and joysticks on the control panel as per the control panel configuration of
your choice. Refer to Illustration 1 on page 7.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB)

Mount the PCB to the side of the cabinet with the edge connector toward the top. This will
keep the wire harness from slipping off due to vibration. Attach three white PCB standoffs to
the backside of the board by gently pushing the post into the mounting holes on the board. Be
very careful not to flex the PCB in anyway. Using the board standoffs as a guide, mark where
to drill mounting holes. Drill pilot holes (3/32”) being careful not to drill through to the outside
Attach the PCB standoffs to the cabinet using wood screws — snug but not too tight or the
board may warp or crack. Be sure the board is not being flexed i n any wav.

Rim Rockin’ Basketlutll-9

If ygii are installing this game into a Dynamo cabinet with a pre-installed JAMMA harness, you
will notice that it does not have a wire for the test switch. You will have to add a contact to the
edge connector at the proper position (position 15). Some cabinets (Dynamo included) have
only one coin switch input and the coin switches are wired together. This prevents you from
using COIN MODE 1. (See "Selecting a Coin Door" on page 5.) St is recommence! that you
wire the coin switches separately.

Attach the wire harness connector to the PCB. This connector should be keyed and labeled
“COMPONENT SIDE Be sure it is mounted correctly. Notice that the power supply wires
are closest to the end marked “JAMMA” on the board.

Hit. JAM.MA harness along with the Player 3 & 4 harness (it you are using a 3- or 4 player

cabinet) must be wired to the cabinet subassemblies such as the control panel, coin doors,
monitor, speaker and power supply. Use the "HARNESS CONNECTIONS" information on
pages 24-26 to determine where each wire should go.

.It is best to use connectors (not supplied) whenever joining a set of harness wires to a
subassembly. If you choose to solder wires together, follow this procedure:

1 . Strip off about 1/2" of insulation from the wire.

2- Slide a piece of heat-shrink tubing over the end.

Do not leave a lot of excess wire spooled up in your cabinet. Cut the wires to the length
you need plus a few extra inches. Leave enough for proper cable dressing - do not mak
it stretch across the inside of the cabinet.

4. Solder the new wire to the original wire. Use a straight in-line splice.

Melt the heat-shrink over the splice.

POWER WIRES

1 . Connect the wires that are designated for your power supply. You will need a supply of
+5 vdc, and +12 vdc. The +5 vdc must be regulated to within 5 % (+ or - 0.25 vdc). The
+12 vdc may be unregulated but should not stray too far or the sound may be affected. If
the cabinet’s supply does not provide these voltages, it will have to be replaced. A
switching-type supply is recommended,

2. You will notice that you have more than one wire for each voltage. I Jse all wires

supplied on the harness. This will ensure better power transmission and prevent
overloading of the edge connector pads.

3. Tin all power supply wires before connecting them to the power supply. Loose strands
may short out the supply. For best results, connect spade lugs to the ends of the power
wires and attach to the screw terminals of the power supply.

MONITOR WIRES

You will be connecting the RED, GREEN, and BLUE video drives along with the composite

SYNC and video GROUND wires.

Kirn Rockin' Biiskethall-1 1

SYNC

This is the recommended approach for a Weils-Gardner monitor and should work with some
others as well.

This game generates a composite sync signal which is accepted by most monitors. A DIP
switch (SW1) on the logic board allows you to choose between positive and negative composite
sync. Most monitors require negative sync. If your monitor requires positive sync, flip the
switch towards the ON position. (See "Setting the Dip Switch" on page 15.)

If your monitor does not have a composite sync input but has separate horizontal and vertical
sync inputs, try connecting the composite sync signal from the PCB to the negative horizontal
sync signal on the monitor. This should produce a satisfactory result, although some adjustment
of the monitor’s sync controls may be necessary.

SPEAKER WIRES

Connect the speaker wires paying attention to their polarity.

If your cabinet has two speakers, connect both. If they are 8- or 16-ohm speakers, connect them
in parallel; if they are 4-ohm, connect them in series.

Examine the speaker carefully. Is it really up to the high standards you wish to maintain at your
location? Unfortunately, many arcade speakers are inadequate for reproduction of good game
sounds. Remember, this is not just a video game — it is a video/audio game. Far more effort
was put into the sounds of this game than is put. into most other arcade games. If the speakers
are not up to it, replace them. A small investment in good speakers can make a world of
difference in profits. Competent and reasonably priced speakers can be obtained from stores
such as Radio Shack. Part numbers 40-1909B and 40-1 268C both work well, with the latter
being recommended. Car speakers also work well.

Position speakers as far from the monitor as possible. If placed too close, the speaker's magnet
may deflect the monitor and cause strange coloration, which can usually be corrected by
degaussing the monitor. Be sure to attach it securely with all four screws to minimize vibration
and rattling. Make sure everything else in the cabinet is attached securely for the same reason.

12-Rim Rockin' Basketball

CONTROL PANEL WIRING

Wire all player controls as per the "HARNESS ( CONNECTIONS" information on pages 24 26.

Player 1 & 2 controls come from the JAMMA harness. Player 3 & 4 controls come from the
Player 3 & 4 harness respectively. Wire only the controls that your cabinet configuration
supports.

COIN DOORS, TEST SWITCH, & SERVICE SWITCH WIRING

1 . Coin door 1 & 2 wires along with the test and service 1 & 2 wires come from the
JAMMA harness. Coin door 3 & 4 and service wires 3 & 4 come from Player 3 & 4
harnesses.

2. Connect the designated wires to the coin switches. For the recommended COIN MODE
1 , each player must have their own coin switch. Do not wire coin switches together.

Wire them individually to Coin 1 thru Coin 4 harness wires. If using COIN MODE 2,
wire Coin 1 to slot 1 and Coin 2 to slot 2. Do not use Coin 3 or Coin 4.

3. Connect the door lamps to the + 1 2 vdc supply . Some games have separate power supply
outputs for the lamps.

4. Mount a test switch (not included) somewhere convenient inside the coin door area. This
switch allows you to enter adju stables, run diagnostics, and see or clear audits. Make it
readily accessible through the coin door. Wire it to the test wire on the JAMMA harness.

5. Depending on the number of players your cabinet will support, mount 1 , 2, 3, or 4 service
switches (not included) in a convenient place. Attach the appropriate wires to the service
switches. The service switches allow the operator to give credit to players without
affecting the game's credit audits. Example: Player 2 puts in a coin and gets no credit, the
operator can then push the Service 2 button (found in the cabinet) and a credit is given lo
player 2 without affecting the game's AUDITS.

6. Clean and lubricate your coin mechs.

FINISHING TOUCHES

1 . Check the game inside and out for any imperfections. Secure any loose wiring or
fa s t e n i ng h a r d w are.

2, Make sure the coin door is tight and the coin mechs are well adjusted.

Rim Roc kin ’ Basket ha 1 1 - 1 3

Make sure all subassemblies are firmly attached. Anything which is not mounted
securely will rattle when the game is played. This game makes use of low-frequency
sounds which can cause any loose joints to rattle.

FINAL CHECK

1 . Carefully inspect the game for loose power wires, exposed connections, and extra
fastening hardware. Look for any stray strands from wires.

2. Make sure the PC boards, monitor, power supply, and speakers are secure.

3. Double check your connections.

4. With the board disconnected from the JAMMA harness, turn the power on and adjust the
+5 vdc supply to be as close to +5 vdc as possible. This is very important to prevent
damage to the game board. Turn the power off and connect the JAMMA harness to tin-
board (always COMPONENT SIDE up). Also attach the Player 3 and 4 harness if
needed.

5. Double check your DIP switch (S W 1 ) settings to make sure they correspond to your
cabinet configurations. (See "Setting the DIP Switch" on page 15.)

APPLYING POWER...

1 . With all harnesses attached to the PC board, plug in the game and turn it on.

2. Look and smell for smoke (TURN IT OFF IMMEDIATELY IF ANY IS NOTICED).

3. Make sure the green and yellow LEDs on the PC boards are flashing. It not, something
is wrong — turn off the game.

4. Listen for sound. A few notes should play on power up.

5. If you do not hear any sounds and the yellow LED is flashing, try turning up the volume
and checking the speaker connections. Dropping a coin through a coin switch should
cause a sound.

c>„ Look at the image on the monitor. If it is not in sync and you can not stop it from rolling
by adjusting the monitor's sync controls, try flipping DIP switch (SW1) on the logic
board. (See "Setting the Dip Switch" on page 15.)

Mow is she picture?

-Is it centered and in focus? Is it too bright or too dim?

Check your monitor manual to make adjustments. Some test patterns are available
through the game’s diagnostics by pressing the test switch. Use them when making any
adjustments. (See “SETTINGS, AUDITS & DIAGNOSTICS” for information about
diagnostics.) Proper monitor adjustment is very important.

8. Try all coin switches. Drop quarters or tokens through to check the coin mechs. Make
sure the game is adding credits. Play the game. Do all buttons and joysticks work
properly? You can also use the "Control Tests" accessed through the diagnostics in the
operator mode to test all controls. Try playing the game with the volume up and listen for
rattling as you play. Tighten anything that is making noise.

9. Upon initial power-up, the game will initialize to factory default settings. These settings
affect game elements such as number of credits per coin, play time per credit, etc.

The “Operator Mode” section on page 17 will describe how to alter these settings and
view the system audits, or run system diagnostics.

SETTINGS, AUDITS, & DIAGNOSTICS

SETTING THE DIP SWITCH

The DIP switch is located underneath the top PC board. You must remove the top PC board to
adjust the DIP switch.

The default settings are: negative sync; COIN MODE 1; and 4-player cabinet.

To remove the top PCB, just pinch the top of the plastic standoff so the lever is straight, and
pull the corner of the top PCB up. There are four plastic standoffs. When replacing the top
PCB be careful to line up the pins on the back of the top PCB. With the connector on the main
PCB, push the top PCB down until the plastic standoffs snap into place. (See Illustration 4 on
page 16.)

OPERATOR MODE

On -screen "Operator Adjustables"^ "Audits", and "Diagnostics" can be accessed by pressing the
test switch at any time. Settings and audited accounts will be saved after the power switch is
shut off. When power is turned back on, the message "SYSTEM STATUS OK” will be
displayed. If, for some reason, any of the settings or accounts were corrupted, or if the power is
being applied for the first time, the message “SYSTEM INITIALIZED" will be displayed and
all factory defaults wall be reinstalled. The system will always attempt to retain the operator
adjustable data so as not to affect your current settings. If the system does go through an
initialization, you may the message “ADJUSTABLES RESTORED”. This means that the
audits have been rese *t the Operator Adjustables have been restored to the previous settings.

Hie battery on the logic board should have a life of approximately five years. If you start
seeing the “SYSTEM INITIALIZED” message often, it is possible that the battery may need
replacing. Battery \oltage should be from 2V - 3V.
